They think the U.S. economy is on the wrong track

This is staggering and it seems the consensus, the reason being healthcare

According to the U.S. Chamber of Commerce survey,:

82% think U.S. economy is on the wrong track ( see more data on small business sentiment)

71% feel that health care law makes it harder to hire (review the critical points on how the Affordable Health Care Act affects small businesses)

66% believe that the climate for small businesses has actually worsened over the past two years (avoid making these entrepreneurial mistakes in 2013)

64% plan to keep the same number of employees in 2013 (beat the trend with this course on How to Get a Job)

54% expect the small business climate to
worsen in next 2 years (take advantage of the resources provided by the SBA and SCORE)

53% have not hired in the past year (check out this Stanford lecture on having a Hiring Plan)

17% indicated that they plan to add employees in 2013 (see my 3 Key Criteria for Hiring)

16% of Small Business Owners Hired More Employees in 2012 (here’s what those candidate probably did to Ace the Interview)

What a shocker. They spent millions to try and get plutocrat Romney elected.

Well, in retrospect, it might have been better to put aside enough for whatever reaping Obama will be taking over the next four yours.
